As seen on PBS, these are live concert performances of the music mentioned in the Little House on the Prairie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. This overview of 19th-century American folk tunes comes via the legacy of Charles "Pa" Ingalls (1836-1902), Laura's father and a highly acclaimed fiddler in his time. Songs include "O California," "The Gum Tree Canoe," "The Gal I Left Behind Me," "Roll the Old Chariot Along," "The Sweet By and By," "The Arkansas Traveler / Devil's Dream," "Oft in the Stilly Night," "Buffalo Gals," "Dixie / The Battle Hymn of the Republic," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Soldier's Joy," "Rock of Ages," "The Battle Cry of Freedom," "Ol' Dan Tucker," and "There Is a Fountain."

"If you want to know the spirit of those times, you need to know these old songs." —Laura Ingalls Wilder
